Abstract: 760,677. Testing fuel injectors. HARTRIDGE, Ltd., L. Sept. 14, 1953 [Sept. 23, 1952], No. 23876/52. Class 7 (3). [Also in Groups XXVIII and XXXV] A device for testing a fuel injector or fuel injection pump comprises means actuated by the force of the spray issuing from an injector fed by the pump which operates a stroboscopic device to show, e.g. on a scale, the angular position of the pump shaft at which injection occurs. An injector 1 connected to a pump P is clamped into a tube 11 so that the end thereof fits into a block 14 supported on a second block 13 of insulating material urged upward by a spring 25, a plunger 15 being urged into contact with the nozzle tip by a light spring 17. When the pump P is operated the plunger 15 is forced down by the force of the spray at the beginning of each injection period into contact with an electrical contact 21 whereby a neon tube NT is actuated to illuminate momentarily a pointer 8 on the pump shaft 6 rotating over a graduated scale 9 from which the angular position of the pump shaft at which injection occurs can be read off. The voltage pulses from the contacts 15, 21 may be amplified in a conventional amplifier A or alternatively they may be applied to the grid g1, Fig. 4, of a cold cathode neon trigger tube having an earthed cathode k, an anode connected to the output of a rectifier through a resistance r1, a screen grid g2 at a potential determined by rheostats r2, r3, and a condenser cl which discharges through the tube when the latter is triggered by voltage pulses applied to the grid gl. The contacts 21 of one or more test injectors sl, s2 etc. are connected by switches SW to the mid-point of a potential divider r4, r5, which point is also connected to the grid g1 through a condenser c2 with a grid leak r6. In testing a pump, each pump cylinder is connected to a separate test injector ; alternatively a standard pump may be used to test one or more injectors. The plunger 15 is shaped to fit accurately against the end face of the injector 1 and is provided with a recess 18 into which the injector sprays and which helps to reduce vibration of the plunger, the liquid escaping through ports 20 being drained off through an opening 26. The head of the plunger 15 may be made a sliding fit in a recess 16 or a rubber cushion may be provided to reduce vibration of the plunger. In a modification the closing of the contacts 15, 21, is arranged to produce a spark between the pointer 8, Fig. 2, and a graduated ring 9 inside which it rotates.

[Class 100 (ii).] A process for producing relief rubber printing- plates for rotary printing-machines consists in curving the matrix, with its impressed surface on the concave side, to a radius greater than that of the printing-cylinder which is to receive the printing-plate, pressing the rubber plate against the curved matrix. and vulcanizing the plate while in contact therewith. The distortion of the design on the matrix produced by its curving is compensated by the distortion in the opposite direction when the plate is applied to the printing-cylinder. The Figure shows a suitable vulcanizing former for making the plates. The rubber sheet a, preferably with a stiffening backing sheet b of textile material, is placed on a cylindrical block f of larger diameter than the printing-cylinder with which the plate is to be used, and is covered with the matrix k which bears an undistorted design when in flat condition. A covering plate l is arranged over the matrix and pressure is applied by three pressure heads h, i, g, pressure being first applied by the central head h and then by the side heads. In a modification, the matrix is laid in a concave bed and the rubber plate pressed therein by a single convex pressure head.
